Concept Search - What can I type?

For a concept search, you can enter phrases, sentences, or full paragraphs in English. For example, copy and paste the abstract of a patent application or paragraphs from an article.

Concept search eliminates the need for complex Boolean syntax to inform retrieval. Our Semantic Gist engine uses advanced cognitive semantic analysis to extract the meaning of data. This reduces the chances of missing valuable information, that may result from traditional keyword searching.

Printing APA On Non-APA Printer

The
following is a solution to the problem of printing
information from an All-Points Addressable (APA) environment to a
non-APA environment.

The APA image
can be regarded as a canvas with objects placed
on top of it. Printing an APA screen
layout can be done on a non-APA
printer by remapping the screen objects (logical parts of the screen
image, such as entry fields, menu actions, text, etc.) into a
similarly aligned fixed-character (line and column) setting.

Each screen
object has a horizontal and vertical size, as well
as an origin (measured in some device-independent unit). Using these
measurements, a fixed-character size and origin can be attained.
These fixed-character values are calculated using conversion
equalities that are based on the current APA font. An example of
such equalities may be the following: a
fixed-character environment
'row' = the average-character height of the current font, and a
fixed-character environment 'column' = the average-character width of
the current font.

The breadth
and depth of the non-APA buffer may be determined
by the underlying APA screen dimensions.
An alternative to this
would be to use the rightmost object to determine the non-APA buffer
breadth and the bottommost object to determine the non-APA buffer
depth.

For each
object, the location into the non-APA buffer is
determined by its fixed-character origin value.
